Jff-my Own Presidential Poll. Who Will You Vote For? ONE SENTENCE PLEASE!

Romney.

I am tired of President Obama's divisive rhetoric. I am tired of the "war on women" - he created it by claiming that if we don't have Obamacare then our employers will take away birth control. That is such a load! I've had health insurance that covered birth control and health insurance that didn't - no president is going to "take away" my birth control. It isn't expensive - even if my health insurance doesn't cover it. I can choose to pay for a pill rather than unlimited text and data!

Here are my other reasons:
The only reason the unemployment figures are down today is because more people quit looking for work!
Obamacare is going to mean an additional tax for me because the employer who insures us will choose to pay the penalty rather than health care - it is much cheaper to pay the penalty! Then I get the Obamacare garbage!
Obamacare already meant that while my mammogram was covered - my breast sonogram was NOT! I would have rather paid the deductibles on both.
Obamacare is being forced on my church! Big mistake Obama - big mistake!
President Obama's method is my way or the highway - Mr. Romney managed to govern as a Republican in a majority Democrat state. Sounds like Reagan or Clinton. Sounds like someone with experience at compromise, negotiation, and getting things done.
I do not like the take from the haves and give to the have nots policies of President Obama. And YES, I did build it!
I made my educational choices (entering a lower paid field so went to a less expensive university and worked through school, too so I would have less debt) based upon my understanding of what future income would be - and I am not interested in paying for students to get degrees to go into social work from $50K a year private schools! If you want that, then you pay for it - no student loan forgiveness! I know that everyone who got a federal student loan for the last 25 years went to student loan counseling. If you ignored the info there then you are stupid and you need to pay for that.
I believe in marriage between a man and a woman.
I do not believe in abortion.
Romney said God and Creator on national TV!!

The media hasn't been able to dig up anything negative about Mr. Romney - and if they can't find anything than he is probably a better person than me.

Obama. I'm not giving the presidency to a man who has no respect for my rights and whose policies don't stand up to the most rudimentary fact checking.

24 moms found this helpful

Romney- He is trying to help our country instead of smash us to the ground.

Ha I got the one sentence without going into huge detail and I still made my point. Score one for the .. ME!

B- Obama did not catch bin ladin- our military did- while he sat in his office buying his wife(the only good part about him) dresses. Please give the men and women fighting for our freedom some credit. One being my Bf, my BIL's, my SIL, my only bilogical brother, and some very dear friends.

I'm voting for Obama because his policies and morals are in line with my own values.

23 moms found this helpful

There is no way that I could vote for Obama. His economic policies have been disasterous to this nation. From the deficit, to healthcare to foreign policy. He is a complete and utter failure. Our credit rating is lower, gas prices higer, food prices higher, jobs creation WAY down, manufacturing, down. Divided this nation. Wealthy v. Poor. It is mind boggling.

The middle east is blowing up, his administration refused additional security for the embassy in Libya. Syria, Iran, Afganistan, Iraq, Egypt are a mess. Israel is a sitting duck. Good lord, when I put it on paper it is terrifying.

As an educated woman, I did not buy into the "war on woman" bs. Education is important but I do not believe that the federal government is the answer to the question.

After watching the debate last night there is no doubt that Mitt Romney is the better suited person for the job. The president looked and sounded arrogant and that he had better things to do. Sorry, the president works for all of us and we have a right to question his record because guess what? He has one now! Romney/Ryan.

22 moms found this helpful

Obama, because I do believe he is doing a good job amid the obstacles of our colossal government; also, I can't vote for Romney and Ryan because they don't respect me as a human being, or my gay friends, or education, they make stuff up, and they are generally disturbing/inconsistent in their statements.

22 moms found this helpful

OBAMA! Granted, he hasn't been able to do everything he hoped for during his first term, but with the Republicans blocking everything he tried to do, I'm pleased with what he has accomplished in spite of them! And I believe in his party's platform wholeheartedly.

21 moms found this helpful

Obama. His party's platform represents my beliefs -- from education to the environment to fair taxation to ... everything, including health care; Romney's doesn't.

Okay, with the one-sentence thing I cheated via a semicolon. But I think I kept it short. :)

21 moms found this helpful

I will vote for Obama because I believe in a country that allows gay MARRIAGE, I believe in a president (not the state) that values education, and I believe that women should have better health care that what Mitt Romney is suggesting.

21 moms found this helpful

Reluctantly Romney, because I love my children too much to leave them with Obama's twisted version of America.

21 moms found this helpful

Romney because I want hope and change. ;)

Romney, for many reasons - one being that as scary as it's been to see what Obama has done (force-fed Obamacare, alarmingly increased deficit) & not done (improve economy, create jobs) for this country in the last four years, the only scarier thing is what he'll do over the next four.

20 moms found this helpful

Obama - reasons are related to foreign policy and social issues.

20 moms found this helpful

NObama. I'm voting for Romney.

I don't want to see abortion expanded, marriage redefined and conscience rights trampled. Plus the current foreign policy and economy really stink.

I live in a swing state, and my oh my, I see way more Romney yard signs than Obama signs.

20 moms found this helpful

My vote will go to Romney. He was not my first choice as the republican nominee, but I believe almost anyone will do a better job than Obama has. (Personally, I would have loved to see Herman Cain as the republican nominee. I think he would have really given Obama a run for his money.) I was already planning on voting for Romney and was really pleased with how he handled himself during the debate last night.

I'm middle class and my financial situation has seriously deteriorated since Obama has been in office. I can't handle any higher grocery and gas prices. It seems like anytime something good happens Obama wants to take credit for it and when anything bad happens he's pointing his finger at Bush or someone else and shirking his responsibility. I don't expect anybody to be absolutely perfect, but stand up and take responsibility and admit you made a mistake when you screw up. I'm also sick to death of people saying that if you don't like something about Obama then you're a racist. Why can't I just dislike him because, in my opinion, he's not doing a good job? I'm also sick of the media ignoring Obama's screw-ups. They're more interested in trying to sway public opinion instead of reporting the facts and truth.

20 moms found this helpful

Romney gets my vote for all the reasons you mentioned above and the more I read the Bible, the more I cannot vote for a President that completely contradicts that. It is the original fact checker!! (sorry for writing more than one sentence!)
Edit: I don't give Obama (or any President really) credit for tracking down Bin Laden. That was our MILITARY and special agencies that did that. So he gave the order to go after him, big deal, what President WOULDN'T have done that unless he was a complete bonehead???

20 moms found this helpful

Romney for various reasons with one of them being getting Obama out of office - he's done enough damage to this country.

20 moms found this helpful

Romney for many reasons, but most of all because he is not Obama.

20 moms found this helpful

Romney.

To those that say Romney doesn't care, I say he cares about 6 times more than Obama if you compare the percentage of their income that they make in charitable contributions.

The real measure of a man is not what he does when everyone is looking, but what he does when no one is looking. Romney has given more to charity, percentage wise, than Obama and Biden combined and has for decades.

If we compare Obama's unemployment record to Romney's unemployment record (as MA govenor), Romney is almost twice as good as Obama. The more people that work, the smaller the deficit. (I'm sure everyone knows that .)

Sorry it was more than one sentence. If you only want to read one sentence, read the first one. Good luck to you and yours.

Romney. I'd rather take a chance on someone new than get handed the same of what we've had to deal with in the past 4 years.

Obama, by default.
I'm all for giving him more time to prove himself.

Romney.

I believed in Obama's Hope and Change. He has let me down. I am worse off than I was 4 years ago.

Romney.

Because I think with my head and not with my heart.

18 moms found this helpful

Romney. I trust him with my own money more then I do Obama.

18 moms found this helpful

Obama because a plan without specifics is a dream.

18 moms found this helpful

Romeny due to his successful history in various roles and stance on smaller government while I don't think Obama has accomplished much of anything in 4 years.

18 moms found this helpful

Definitely Romney and Ryan. Obama had his chance and messed up. It's time for him to go.

18 moms found this helpful

Romney
Because I do not like the change we have been living with for the past 4 years.

18 moms found this helpful

Romney because Obama had his chance and did not fulfill his promises.

18 moms found this helpful

Romney! Obama has proven himself to be an ineffective leader who can't get thing done. Romney got things done in MA when 85% of the leaders in MA were democrats. Obama couldn't even get things done in the first 2 years of his presidency when the house and senate were democrats.

It's campaign season - they'll all promise you the sun, moon and stars on a silver platter but there's no way they can deliver on even a fraction of it -
President Obama is not perfect, but I GIVE HIM CREDIT for removing Bin Laden from the world (I don't care if that irks others and they want to fall all over themselves to say he didn't - he's the Commander in Chief - he gave the orders - he got it done) - he's got my vote.

17 moms found this helpful

I am voting for Mitt Romney. He has a better plan and fresh ideas for how to get this country back on track---Obama is the same old, same old.

17 moms found this helpful

Obama. Because the only ones who will benefit from a Republican administration are the already rich, because I am firmly middle-class and my future will NOT be brighter under Republican policies, because I value my rights as a woman and I fear for my daughters' rights under the current Republican platform, and because I am an educated person and an educated voter I am a Democrat.

17 moms found this helpful

Romney. He has realistic plans and sound business experience

17 moms found this helpful

Obama-I think he is the best choice for our country.

17 moms found this helpful

Romney because I don't buy that fake Facebook add that he has no plan.

Oh and I'm not rich - just can't afford to pay more in taxes - oh and gas!

16 moms found this helpful

Begrudgingly Romney because 1. I'm a small business owner and the Obama Administration has policies in place that are absolutely devastating to small business 2. I think the economy's issues need to be addressed through a business minded approach 3. I think increasing the size of the government is the most detrimental decision we can make as a country and FINALLY 4. President Obama has allowed our country to become so divided...to me, a true leader can bring people together, even in the face of adversity.
Now that was one LONG runon sentence :)

16 moms found this helpful

For those who think we'll have "the same" for 4 more years of President Obama, you may find that the only ones making money with Romney are the wealthy - pandering to only business and wealthy cronies is not the answer for middle America and will not create jobs. I will NOT vote for Romney.

Romney, I see a goal oriented guy that has the Skills to get it done.

16 moms found this helpful

Obama! I can't vote for a man who says, "My plan is not to cut taxes. My plan lowers overall tax rates." Huh?? Not part of the original sentence, but by the way, Mitt, did you know that when you cut funding to PBS, you will be putting both Jim Leher and Big Bird out of a job, not creating them?

15 moms found this helpful

Romney for the same reasons you stated.

15 moms found this helpful

Romney, because I like the idea that he actually not only has positive political experience but knowledge of how an economy (whether in a business setting) or in the world arena should work....

14 moms found this helpful

Obama, obviously, because Romney has no plan, his numbers don't add up using simple math (that's pretty well documented) as is his bullying personality (still there from college) and his general lack of respect for people.

(I thought this was supposed to be one sentence or less?)

14 moms found this helpful

Obama. Because I live in reality and understand math.

14 moms found this helpful

Romney. For the same economic reasons already mentioned.

14 moms found this helpful

Obama. Hands down. Since I live in Mass & have seen Romney in action and since I share social objectives with Obama, the choice for me is absolutely clear.

13 moms found this helpful

Romney- he has broader shoulders than Obama

(not really the reason but that really stuck out last night, need a man who can carry a load on his shoulders. Stupid I know... I cannot control the thoughts that go through my head)

13 moms found this helpful

At this point...Romney. In just one sentence or less????? Because he is not Barack Obama and therefore is the option I am left with.

**Just to be clear, this is not because of his race but rather I don't believe what he says (even when it sounds good). He's a good speaker and may be a good person but I don't think he's a good president. I don't believe he is completely to blame for all our troubles but I do think he is making things much worse.

13 moms found this helpful

I will vote for Obama.

For me its about women issues which equate to family issues. Issues like reproductive rights, equal pay for equal work, programs for after school/education, insurance coverage with no denial of pre-existing conditions, insurance coverage for kids who are still in college, access to pell grants for college and easier repayment of college loans, extending life of medicare/social security and not privatizing it. I could go on longer but this is already more than one sentence.

13 moms found this helpful

Obama. Romney is an insincere Ken Doll who suddenly cares for the poor despite his lifetime attitude against the common peasants? Nope. His economic plan has been tried. Flashback to the 8 years post Clinton. Of course he'll cut Big Bird and think that will make up for his utter lack of revenue.

11 moms found this helpful

Obama - because he has the better economic plan and will keep his god out of my bedroom.

11 moms found this helpful

100% President Obama.
Republican policies of tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation of banking are what created the hole in the economy. If low taxation on investment income was going to create jobs, it would have already worked.

Romney will say anything to get elected, and he's trying to appear moderate at the moment.

Maybe Obama hasn't been your dream president. Get over it. It's like saying Obama hasn't cured cancer, so I'm going to vote for cancer.

Romney.

Aside from the fact that I hate BO and MO with a vengenance, I believe Romney's plan works best for our family and our financial stance.

10 moms found this helpful

Romney. Most of us in America didn't live in Mass when he was governor but we have ALL seen OBAMA in action. Better plan??? Um, show me the proof. We have had 4 years under his plan. Personally, I don't see that anything has improved. Our economy is WORSE and he has added a MASSIVE amount of debt. Oh, and his plan to tax the rich? That increase in revenue would be a drip in an Olympic sized swimming pool compared to the debt we owe and the money he wants to spend if he is reelected.

Obama! He works for the people, when not being blocked at every turn, respects the middle class, women, and people of all denominations and sexual orientation, and finally doesn't make my skin crawl when he speaks.

10 moms found this helpful

President Obama.

President Obama does; Romney could.

8 moms found this helpful

Obama because he believes in healthcare for everyone and also because if Romney is elected this would happen: "The tax reform plan that House Republicans have advanced would sharply cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and could leave middle-class households facing much larger tax bills".

One sentence or less...can't do it, I am not a sound bite girl and the issues are way too complicated for 1 sentence.

Sadly she lied but my 6 year old said she's going to be president when she;s bigger so she can make a law that the president doesnt have to work and then enjoy herself...not too far off what some of them have done huh? apparently my 6 year old is smarter than them, they took colelge and years of aging to come up with that=)

Don't know. I go back and forth, and have not decided who the lesser of two evils is.

Bin Laden could've been killed 4 previous times and was called off by the president. The last time it was called off it was accidentally "not heard" by tired military hunting him down and then being called off. Only repeating a military personnel, not my personal experience. But it is something to think about. Have also heard many say, I'm against abortion, same sex marriage, forced healthcare, the current economy sucks, etc. etc., but Obama is who I am choosing. WTH???? I don't care who you choose, because that is your priveledge to vote, but don't make yourself sound so stupid that your voting for someone that you are against everything he is for! No matter who you vote for, your going to hear bad on both. Romney is rich, well so is Obama, right? Romney is Mormon, so what??? Obama is trying to make healthcare available to everyone, great! But insurance companies are going to hike healthcare rates, I can't afford personal healthcare. I own a small business so my choice is clear for me and my family. Do what is right for you and your family, so choose wisely based on as many facts as you can gather that would benefit your situation. REMEMBER YOU CAN'T GRIPE ABOUT WHO WINS (IF NOT YOUR CHOICE) IF YOU DON'T VOTE!!!

If you are middle class and voting for Romney, all I ask is that you do some research. I'm for Obama all the way. This wealthy businessman knows how to do one thing: Stomp over the little guy to get ahead. This has been his business ways. If you don't believe me, do some research. Personally, I like a man who believes in helping all of us to get ahead, not just the few at the top.

2 moms found this helpful

Still on the fence. I don't agree with everything Obama has done be he took office right as our world was crashing, not because of him, but his predecessor, Little Bush. It's been slow change but honestly if the government hadn't stepped in, where would we be today? It could have been way worse than it was 4 years ago. I'm still not happy where we are at but am a lot happier than 2-4 years ago.

With Romney sure he says he will lower taxes but he will also lower deductions so the same amount of revenue will come in from taxes. It will benefit some that don't take deductions but what about us middle class that barely get $100 in child credits when you have 2 kids and pay $19k a year in daycare? It will hurt me worse or possibly be the same as know. I don't know.

How about Ron Paul...we'll see as the month progresses, right now I'm not happy with either choice. Picking the lesser of 2 evils isn't so great...grrr

This is J. F. from Henderson (not to be confused with J. F. from Tallahassee), and I'm still voting for my husband, Mr. F.
